Ashes Fall

It’s finally happened, I think. Johnnie is totally overwhelmed. To see where her time went, she kept track for a week…

I haven’t hardly done my project for Flash Fundamentals because Becks was finally online for a day to do MCRime. I could be charging $30/hr for this stuff but I’m not. I do this stuff because I like to do it, not because I want to fail a class. I have a quiz today and a practical tonight that I probably won’t do very well on, and my project is due at 7pm. I spent about 20-30 hours on MCRime last week alone. The effing layout looks fine in FireFox and Safari, but crappy in I.E. so I need to make some modifications. However, the site can’t launch until I have a few days with the domain name anyways.

Mikey Way and related projects have become a full-time job. Mikey Way alone I spent about 40 hours last week into Monday. It may be just a fansite or whatever, but that thing has become my life and I love it. I really love it, and I love to watch good things happen to it (which, if things are going to go in my favor, I’ll start making some money soon). Mikey Way includes the main WordPress site, gallery, and forum. 8 hours was spent on the Media site (which will be a separate site from Mikey Way and is a partnership with Brandi), and 30 minutes (if that) on Brandi’s banner.

I’m also an avid reader of LiveJournal, Guitar Angel, Jemjabella, and Green Day Authority. I can be caught trolling Buzznet, YouTube, the WordPress Codex (yeah, I’m a nerd), and Absolute Punk.

And how much time have I spent in school? On campus, last week, 40 hours. Maybe 4 hours outside of class. And it doesn’t totally count because I’ve been known to work on the above things while in lecture and lab, as well as obsessively checking email.

I haven’t been to bed before 6am all week. I haven’t had a full meal in awhile. I’m about to clean off my couch and do sporatic naps.

I need to get my stuff in line.

Oh, but at least Michael Curry realizes he doesn’t take responsibility for himself or the stuff he does. In fact, he was quite vocal about it. I give him props for that, dude. Not a lot of people can admit something like that in themselves.

On the bright side, I get to see Kathleen on sunday!

Wee! I’m actually blogging! Cool stuff’s been happenin’. Like what, you ask?

First off, I helped a nice lady over at Buzznet with some ‘little known MCR facts’ and so now I’m part of the Buzzmob and I get some freebies in the mail. Whoot! And Mikey Way Online is now linked at ‘Mikey Way on Buzznet‘. Whoot for me!

Secondly, the concerts rocked beyond belief, and I got to meet Frank. Excuse my while I fangirl even though this was a couple weeks ago. (asdfw3r3400 I MET FRANK! *SQUEE*) Anyhow.

My next motion graphics project is going to be on Skeleton Crew record label. Let’s see if I can actually get this done. It needs to be 60 seconds long, and then I need to take that and make it 30, and then take that and make it 15. Right. And I have a week to do this. Like, whatever. It won’t be finished when it gets turned into class, but we’ll see. I’ll finish it and it will be sent to Skeleton Crew.

I’m finally trying to get my portfolio/collective/journal up and running with a decent layout. This layout is staying for a bit longer, however, I need some navigation. Expect changes. Not that I think anybody reads this, but I can hope, yeah?
